Home for a pig

I got the place! That one in the picture I posted, with the garden? I got it!

Not that it was tough mind you. I showed up in a skirt to my knees with charming father in tow, looking like an All-American Ms. Auto Fair Festival 1956 Queen type, and the opera-singin', cake-makeup wearin' landlady just about fell over in glee.

So it's little. The ceilings are not all that they could be. And I'll be sharing it with a couple of somnolent daddy longlegs. But it's in Upper Market, within walking distance to the Castro and all the good food that entails; plus, no one will hassle me when I'm walking around at night, because ew girls.

I can't have a housewarming party - like pretty much all of my studios before this one, it's big enough for me and a petite friend and that's all about it. But we should go eat at the awesome Greek place again soon, as it is just blocks away, and I can show y'all my garden.

Catch and release! Violence is not the answer.

I've got ants in my apartment. Lots and lots of ants. Your spiders and my ants should fight. In fact, I think they should fight in The Thunderdome. TWO SPECIES OF INSECTS ENTER, ONE SPECIES OF INSECT LEAVES!

Hmmmm....that's not at catchy as I thought it would be.

you think you've got spiders? i've killed no less than fifteen spiders since i moved in three weeks ago. the number would be higher but i got tired of all the carnage and now only kill spiders if they're actually in the process of actually crawling on my actual face.

i also have silverfish. the silverfish made this conversation happen:

me: i saw a silverfish in my apartment last night.
brother holohan: [twice as confused as a single human being can possibly be.] you found a silver fish in your apartment?

for some reason i seem to be cleverer in this blog than i am in my own. but i'm still not as clever as anyone else.
